Gameplay

Digimon World 4 allows four players to control their own Digimon simultaneously.

Digimon World 4 is an action role-playing game with elements of digital pet games.[1] The game offers a choice of one of four starter Digimon: Dorumon, Veemon, Guilmon, and Agumon. Depending on what the player does in the game, the digimon it selects and the level, it may gain a digivolution. In this game the player does not use the digimon powers but instead attacks the enemy by using weapons like swords, guns and axes.

Digimon World 4 has received average to poor reviews from critics. It holds an average of 6.1 on IGN, which states "Digimon World 4 had the makings of a decent action role-playing game. Unfortunately, a myriad of issues bring it down. It has a wholly unsatisfying single-player game, made worse by a clunky camera and overly cheap enemies. It's also unbalanced, leaving players without any compatriots out in the cold. Bring in a few friends and things change drastically."[15] The game was also criticized for its similarities to Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, yet "not coming close in terms of narrative, style and game mechanics," and for its drastically different style than the other Digimon World games.
